"Everyone, my plan is to ignore where the Tatar army is, and not to find them. We just need the army to march northward, reach the bank of the Yellow River, and block the Yellow River Ferry." Zhang Yanling stretched out his hand and moved up the thick black line, moving to the top of the Bizi bend.

Everyone looked at Zhang Yanling in shock, his mind was in chaos. What is the difference between the idea of ​​the Duke of the Kingdom of Guarding and the previous adventure and rushing forward by the 200,000 border troops? Isn’t this a dangerous move that penetrates into the hinterland of the enemy? How to supply food and supplies behind him, wouldn’t it be cut off?

"The Tartars currently have two important fulcrums in Dongtao. One is the Tumote Grassland in the front and the other is the Bayanchur Grassland in the back. These two are also places with abundant water and grass in the Hetao grassland. The supply of the Tartar soldiers and horses in Dongtao is in these two places. The food and grass north of the Yellow River also depends on the east and west ferry crossings. We only need to occupy the Bayanchur Grassland and the Tumote Grassland and control these two ferries, which is equivalent to shaking the throats of all the Tartar soldiers and horses in the Dongtao area. Do you understand your tactical intentions?"

Zhang Yanling's explanation suddenly made everyone realize. The originally chaotic thoughts suddenly became clear. The words of the Duke of the National Guard suddenly summarized the main points and grasped the key points. Control the Tartars' logistics supply land and blocked the Yellow River Ferry. That was a way to remove firewood from the bottom of the pot.

"It's amazing. In that case, we don't have to fight with the Tartars at all, they will come to us. Their lifeblood is held in our hands, and they are in danger of being trapped in the Hetao land, so they cannot hide and will inevitably appear." Xu Tai shouted excitedly.

"That's right, General Xu Tai said very well. Our goal is not only to control the land, but the most important thing is to eliminate the living forces of the Tartars and annihilate their troops. Some people may think that territory is the most important, but in fact, talent is the most important. As the saying goes, the land is lost, and people are lost. As long as there are troops in your hands, you can occupy the land and expand the territory at any time. Therefore, forcing them to fight to a decisive battle is the ultimate goal of this stage. Only by fighting can they eliminate their living forces and then achieve the purpose of the northern expedition. Taking its fulcrum and occupying its ferry is to cut off its retreat. Forcing them to fight and turn passive into active. The Taurus cavalry is maneuvering and flexible, and the dragon is not seen at the end. When we go to find them, it is easy to be plotted against them. But as long as we grasp the reins, they will be led by us."

“Excellent, amazing.”

Discussion of group 74 7

"The Duke of the National Guardian is a clear guide. This strategy is exquisite."

The generals nodded and were amazed.

"Duke of the People, your plan will be very much acknowledged. This is a clever strategy. However, there are a few questions about the humble position, and I don't know if it can be said clearly." Amidst admiration, one of the people stood up and bowed.

Everyone turned around and looked at it, but it was Wu Hao, the commander of the Third Battalion of the Fourth Foreign Army.

Zhang Yanling nodded and said, "Please tell me, General Wu."

Wu Hao bowed and said, "Thank you, Duke Huguo. There are three questions about the humble official. First, our army goes north to reach the bank of the Yellow River, and it will go deeper than 800 miles. However, how should our army's logistics supply be solved? If the supply from Yansui is replenished, the supply line must be extended by 300 miles. Although Baichengzi can be recaptured as a transit supply place. But Baichengzi is not a place to defend. Even if the Tatars do not attack Baichengzi, the Tatar cavalry can easily cut off any place. If the supply from Datong Town, all the supplies must cross the river to transport them to the army, which is even more impossible. The Tatars only need to control the west bank of the Yellow River and easily cut off the supply line without too many soldiers. Will this repeat the mistake of the border army being trapped and out of food before the attack on Hetao?"

Everyone suddenly became quiet. This was actually the doubt in the hearts of many generals. Everyone looked at Zhang Yanling and waited for the answer. If the supply problem is not solved, everything will be empty.

But Zhang Yanling smiled and said, "General Wu Hao's concern is not unreasonable. When fighting, before the troops move, food and grass will come first. The army cuts off food, how can the soldiers fight? However, this time, we don't have to worry about this. Our army heads north and attacks two Tartar tribes, Tumot and Bayannur. The Tatars' grain production land is in the East Tat, and the East Tats produce grain is in the two grassland tribes, Tumot and Bayanchor. If you conquer one of them, you will have a lot of food and grass supply. Of course, you can't completely count on it from

The Tatar tribe snatched it. We also have to bring enough dry food. My personal idea is that if we bring enough food and supplies, we have to prepare at least two months of food. Anyway, we are infantry, so we are just more accompanying food trucks in the team. I collected 500 trucks from Datong Town, which can carry 500,000 kilograms of food and supplies. Each of the 110,000 soldiers carried 10 kilograms of food and supplies. This problem can be solved. In the next two months, there will be no supply supply for logistics supplies. Without a supply line, you don’t have to worry about copying the logistics supply line."

Everyone nodded slightly. Although the solution was not satisfactory and was a relatively radical approach. If the two months of food and grass were with the army, if one or two months arrived and the goal was not achieved, wouldn't it be a desperate situation?

"Everyone, fighting is not just about your own difficulties, but also about the other party. Think about it, how long can the Tartars supply last? We occupy two grasslands in front and back, how long can the Tartars tens of thousands of cavalry last? The Tartars also have to eat and drink. Can the Ordos grassland tribe afford the consumption of 60,000 Taurus cavalry? They are definitely more worried about logistics issues than us. So, they will take action soon." Zhang Yanling said.

Tower reading small

British Duke Zhang Lun also said, "I think it's feasible, it's just that the team is larger and the movement is slower. Just bring more food and grass."

Wu Hao bowed and said, "The General of the Last is also considered feasible. Getting rid of the constraints of logistics supplies is a good thing. The Second question of the General of the Last is, if the Tartars do the opposite, they do not attack our army, but instead go south to attack Yansui border town, what should we do? We trap them, they are not rabbits and sheep, but wild wolves. If they hit the troops and go south to attack our border town, wouldn't it be bad?"

The generals were buzzing, and there was definitely a possibility. If the Tartar cavalry went south to attack Ningxia or Yansui, once they broke through, wouldn’t they be self-defeating?

Zhang Lun looked at Zhang Yanling and thought to himself: Brother, your plan has loopholes, and it’s not small.

But Zhang Yanling smiled and said, "General Wu, there is no need to be such a worry. The possibility of the Tatars going south to attack our border town is very low. The reason is very simple. The Tatars do not have the guarantee of material, food, grass, and siege equipment, so they would not do this. Originally, the Tatars were good at cavalry forces, and what they were best at was head-on battles, charges and harassment. Going to attack border towns and forts? Attack our Ming city? Isn't it because of their own short-term attacks on their strength? Moreover, although the Yansui border town suffered heavy losses this time, there were not no soldiers to defend. Ningxia Town still had 40,000 troops, and there were more than 30,000 defenders along the border town of Yansui Town. Shaanxi Xingdu Office had five guards and horses at any time to support. Now all border towns in various places have maintained the highest alert state. We are not afraid of their attack."

Everyone was silent, some frowning, and some nodded slightly.

"You all think about it from the perspective of the Tartars. Once they are blocked from attacking the border town, they will never look back and be trapped in the real East Tak. If you were you, would you take this risk? Attacking the enemy troops deep into the hinterland on the grassland, and fighting in the field method they are best at, there will be a great chance of victory. But they will run to attack the opponent's Great Wall Castle and other border towns with complete defense facilities such as the Great Wall Castle? How could they fall into a desperate situation? I dare to assert that the Tartars will not go south, they will only come to attack us. This is their wisest, most likely to win, and the only choice." Zhang Yanling said.

The generals nodded one after another. The words of the Duke of the National Guard were completely reasonable. If he were himself, he would not have done this. The Tartars were not completely desperate and did not have to take a single bet to completely cut off their retreat.

Wu Hao said in a deep voice: "The last general is stupid, and the Duke of the State is reasonable. This possibility is indeed very small."

Zhang Yanling smiled and said, "You can raise this kind of worry, which means that you are still considering it very carefully. You are really thinking and using your brain. This alone deserves praise."

Wu Hao said: "The Duke of the Kingdom is a misunderstanding. Then the last general has a last question. The Duke of the Kingdom is to let the Tatars take the initiative to attack our army. The Duke of the Kingdom also said that the Tatar cavalry is good at field battles. At present, there are at least 60,000 cavalry in Hetao. After our army penetrates the south bank of the Yellow River, the Tatars will come to attack me. Maybe even the Tatar soldiers and horses on the north bank will cross the river and attack. Under the attack between the north and the south, do we have a chance of victory? We have no danger to defend, and how can we ensure victory in the decisive battle? If we cannot guarantee victory, will we advance, and we cannot retreat at that time, and we will send ourselves completely into the wolf's mouth and the corpse will not exist?"

The generals were a little surprised. Wu Hao was really bold. The last question was the point. He was questioning the rationality of Zhang Yanling's plan and questioning Zhang Yanling's leadership ability. This was an offense to Zhang Yanling.

Chen Shiyi and Huo Shijian and others were ready to scold Wu Hao. This guy was afraid he was confused and actually said such words.

Zhang Yanling's expression did not change and smiled and said, "General Wu, who can guarantee victory in the war? If you ask me if I can guarantee victory, I can only answer you. God knows what the result will be. Unless there is a prescient ability, I cannot answer your question. All we can do is to make all preparations, make all plans, and actively prepare for war. We must have a firm belief in winning, a tenacious will to fight, and never retreat. Do everything we should do. Of course, just do everything we should do. , personally, I naturally have the confidence to defeat the Tartars. Otherwise, why are we going to fight north? Are we looking for death? I know that many of you fear the Tartars as much as a tiger, and I can understand your concerns. But for me, Zhang Yanling, they are not more difficult than the Florians. I will value them, but I will not be afraid of them. My advice to everyone, including General Wu, is to do what you should do, not fear the enemy, and not underestimate the enemy. Also, believe in me and Duke of England."
